You are probably using some kind of progammer, etc.. and you will get this code.. pretty normal.. Or maybe you disconected your batteries recently... see:

DId you buy the truck new ? If not, maybe the previous owner had a programmer or chip.. Did you disconnect your battery recently ?

The code is a Keep Alive Memory...

Meaning you cleared the codes, disconnected the batterys or otherwise messed with the PCM in some way.

Has nothing to do with the High Idle or the EBPV...

The EBPV will not close unless the temps are low enough for the PCM to call for it, same thing with the High Idle... Unless the temp and other parameters are met it will not do this.

P0603 - PCED - Internal control module KAM error - Open PCM pin, disconnect B+, faulty PCM

Disconnecting positive cables on batts is disconnecting B+. You can reset Keep Alive Memory to cler the code.

Shoukld have mentioned these 2 things in your first post.

it will run good then it will not:

This could be a loose UVCH (Under Valve Cover Harness) or burned center pin.

50 Cent Mod for loose UVCH Burned Center Pin

my mph gauge will not work then it will:

Intermittent speedo can be a bad VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) on top of rear diff.
